Where does the Roadrunner live?

Answer 1

The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus)is an omnivorous long-legged member of the cuckoo family and can be found in the southwestern United States (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma and a few sighting in Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri) as well as northern Mexico (the Mexican States of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, Jalisco, Coahila, Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes, Guanajuato, Michoacan, Queretaro, Mexico, Puebla, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, and San Luis Potosi.

An excellent graphic of their range can found at the related link listed below.

The Lesser Roadrunner (Geococcyx velox) resembles the Greater Roadrunner, but is smaller and has a much shorter bill. Also omnivorous, its range is southwestern Mexico, northward into the western side of the Sierra Madres; also northern Central America, as well as a disjunct range in the northern Yucatan Peninsula.

An excellent graphic of their range can be found at the related link below. I recommend opening two windows at a time to see them both at once.
